and i'm pretty sure it has something to do with the fact that when i was little i run and smashed my face onto a column i didn't see (it was too dark)

That's a handy excuse. Do uou use it often for various reasons?

You should visit an optician if you haven't already. Bad night vision is one of the first signs that you need glasses.

Same here. I eat way more than most people, have relatively little physical exercise but still have no fat. My body fat percentage was around 9% last time it was measured, normal should be 12-19%, only athletes have so little fat as I do :o

Another two, I see. I eat plenty with little dietary regards and eat/drink a lot of sugary stuff, spending much, much time in front of my computer, and am slightly underweight. (by my own estimate; nothing beyond that to go by) Seems nerds are often either very skinny or very fat. I'm young, though, so maybe my seemingly very high metabolism will slow down in a couple of years. Though I hope not.

And that comment about pizza made me hungry. Luckily, I'll have some this evening.

I like the taste of blood. Whenever I get a cut I lick it.

With all the bleeding I've had in my mouth, I've found that a small amount of blood tastes somewhat sweet but a lot of it gets to be disgusting. Though IMHO AFAICS YMMV, OTOH TLDR PM ML.

I've reached a point in my life where most of the time I'm more comfortable inside my own head than anywhere else. And people look at me funny. But then you'd expect this to be par for the course on a programming forum, so not weird... Well, somewhere inside me there's a little rapist I'm protecting by not turning him in. Guess that's kind of strange.

I have one friend offline.

Other than that, I'm having a difficult time thinking of anything strange about myself. ::)

I have and use 1.2 TB of chess endgame database. I also share it all online on p2p.

I had 6 automatic chess engine-engine tournaments running 24/7 for the most of the last year. Reduced to just 3 now.

I hate vegetables (so I have to eat vitamins).

I've climbed to the top of mt. Fuji 7 times.

I once met new year in mountains in a tent with -30 C outside.

I watched Carpenter's "The Thing" about 15 times and still want to watch it again.

Because you're the one making them feel uncomfortable?

Yes! ;) Actually it's a quote from something. But you need to be a big fan of that something to get it. I was thinking that someone would guess it.

I hate Chinchillas, Everybody thinks they are so cute and soft and fuzzy. They are soulless creatures of the night, who enjoy causing as much noise as they can at random hours of the night. They delight in denying me a full night sleep and are turning my girlfriend against me.

I second this notion. My fathers girlfriends daughter had a Chinchilla once, it perished in an unfortunate accident involving snow and tossing objects out the window.

I am fairly good at guessing who is going to go to Ikea and who's not (the bus I take to work and back is one of the few that goes right past it). Factors that help in guessing:

  • If they look like students, there's a good chance that they're going to Ikea to buy some cheap B-grade furniture.


  • If they are dressed up with "style", there's a good chance that they're going to Ikea to buy some "stylish" furniture (which is, in fact, cheap B-grade furniture).


  • If they're female, there's a good chance that they're going to Ikea.


  • If they keep looking left and right, there's a good chance that they're going to Ikea without realizing it's in another city + a 30 minute ride.


  • If they're dressed up like they're going to meet the president, there's a good chance that they're swedes going to Ikea.

Cheap is true. But there are some quality stuff there as well.

You are probably right, Gnolam. Another fact about me, I can turn my left foot around so it points in the opposite direction. I showed it to a friend at work who then asked me if I could fit inside a small box. I am not sure, but since we were at a UPS distribution hub, I did not want to try.

You! You will feel the pain of a thousand ninja-chinchillas stabbing you in your sleep. Feel the pain... >_>

I agree, Indeterminatus is a cute one.
